All the piggy babies

Cole eats 3 solid meals and nurses about 5 times throughout the day. At his first solid meal he has about 5oz oatmeal with a fruit mix in (about 2 cubes of fruit). For lunch he has a jar of baby food and wants more. For dinner he has 6 cubes of veg (we home make most of his baby food) and half a yogurt and still wants more. He would probably eat all day if I let him. He is 50% for weight. He once ate 9 cubes and still wanted more.

Is he eating like this because he is more active now?

Is anyone elses LO a little piggy baby?

My LO is right up there with yours. Landon eats 3 meals a day, plus snacks and if he finishes all of his formula that's 27oz there. Landon eats a bowl of cereal mixed with some fruit in the morning and then for lunch and dinner he gets 1 full jar and a 1/2 jar of stage 2 food or 1 jar of stage three. He's my little piggy. I think it has something to do with them being so active.

Emma will eat two handfuls of Cheerios and 8 oz formula at breakfast, then a whole sunflower seed butter sandwich (squashed and cut up a bit) at lunch, 8 oz formula before her nap, a small bowl of veggies and 8 oz at dinner and 8 oz formula before bed.

This is in addition to whatever of DS's apple wedges and snacks she'll steal from him / he'll give to her.

Yep. She's a foodie :-)

My Lo is like that too. SHe goes from playing...to screaming because she is starving and if I don't feed her fast enough she gets mad and screams to get down. I think she thinks she should be able to finish her food as fast as she does her formula/nursing (less than 5 minutes) and it takes her about 15-20 minutes to eat solids. All she wants to do is PLAY! Eating is just a necessity (not a want) to her. LOL

Am I the only one who read "all the piggy babies" and suddenly deep in the recesses of my mind broke into "all the single ladies"? ;) But I digress....

Back on topic: I have a little piggy, but she eats nothing like your little guy! She goes from "starving" to wanting to get down and play in a matter of minutes, though, and if I am not fast enough to give her what she wants, it all falls apart very quickly!

That is what the doc told me. Kaileigh does not have a full sensor. I bet she would eat till she puked if I let her. At her appt yesterday she only weighed 14 lbs 8.5 oz. Down from 15 lbs. My doctor was not concerned at all she just said that now she can crawl around she is needed more food cause she is using up more energy.

I was super worried because her breath smells kinda like nail polish remover and I heard that weird breath smells is a sign of diabetes, I had gestational diabetes and with her eating and not gaining I was freaked.

HTH

Wow! I really do have a little piggy!! At Olivia's 9 month check up yesterday she weighed 22 pounds, 10.4 ounces!

My doc said they are probably going through little mini growth spurts at the times when they seem to be insatiable. Although Olivia is wearing 18 month onesies (she's only a 12 month in pant length!) she doesn't look overweight. She is crawling like a little maniac so I'm sure she works off most of what she eats.

Personally, I wouldn't worry that Cole wants to eat. He is "average" at 50% so he obviously isn't getting far more than he should be. As long as he is happy and healthy... :-)

I just wanted to make sure there were more piggy babies. I kept reading posts about 2 jars of food a day and such and I was like wow Cole you are such a piggy baby. The way he devours food reminds me of Randy from A Christmas Story (where's mommies piggy)

He is always active. It is always summer here so he was out in his swimming pool the other day. It was so cute.
